2011 Map of Des Moines

About this map

Pugent Sound defines the western edge of this coastal landscape, where the saltwater shoreline meets a dense network of suburban development and critical transportation infrastructure. The massive footprint of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport dominates the center of the sheet, surrounded by the established communities of Burien, SeaTac, and Des Moines. To the east, the Duwamish River and Green River meander through industrial corridors near Tukwila, accompanied by the BNSF Railway and major highway interchanges. The map reveals the civic and recreational character of the South Sound through features like the Des Moines Marina and numerous cemeteries, including Washington Memorial Park and Riverton Crest Cemetery. Small inland water bodies such as Angle Lake and Bow Lake are preserved amidst the grid of residential streets and post offices that service neighborhoods like Sunnydale and Zenith.
